It seems that you're either completely captivated by the 2012 London Olympics or you think it's a monumental waste of money. I'm definitely of the former; it's a visual spectacular and the opening ceremony last Friday was spectacularly spectacular. The ranks of the spectators sparkled with the light of thousands of (pointless) camera flashes. It was fascinating to watch the competitors parade with everything from smartphones to big full frame professional DSLRs in order to make very special personal records of the opening of the games.

Nikon is the official imaging sponsor of the Olympics and Panasonic is another top-tier sponsor which means they are able to promote their Lumix camera range via the games. Our sibling site, Four Thirds User, is featuring a gallery of photos taken by Getty images photographer, Dean Mouhtaropoulos, updated during each day of the Olympics. His photos are taken using Panasonic Lumix Micro Four Thirds cameras and lenses - you can find the gallery [URL="http://fourthirds-user.com/galleries/showgallery.php/cat/991"]here[/URL].
